For the sky birds

Some research towards my TVCQ "Slough piece" - bird silhouettes and flocks. The card was made as a Christmas card in the early 1990s - photocopied and coloured in with gold and red pen.

It's based on the Bird Tree by Guiseppe Lund, and on a poem by an Iranian poet called Mohammad Hoghughi:

The distant cloud takes to its wings from light.
The flock of the sky birds take to their wings.
I take my wings from rapture.
